Therionthropy [Shifting] & [Ferocity] & [Metamorph] I had spent the past few years trying to keep my companion from releasing the full extent of his primal wrath. I had succeeded to an extent, but there were no words to pacify the savage beast after the death of his mate. I had spent years trying to tame that ferocious side of him, to show him the wonders of civilization. It was all for naught as at last the beast inside him he had kept locked away had finally awakened. I pray for the misguided sole of that hunter, he is not long for this world. —Excerpts from St. Adjune the forgiving.

[Ferocity] When he fought he more closely resembled a beast than a man. There was a savage ferocity in the way he fought but also a simple elegance. To him, this was simply the way of the world.

[Metamorph] In our travels we encountered all kinds of fools and hunters who sought to end the menace that lingers in minds of irrational men with a silver tipped blade. I regret I was only able to enlighten a few of them, there were so many that fell to the fury of furs and claws. There was however one hunter, more skilled and adamant in his convictions than the rest. He had brewed a special concoction, a quicksilver poison meant to kill my companion in the most dreadfully painful way possible. He succeeded with the latter but my companion somehow emerged stronger from the ordeal. Not only that but his entire body seemed to change as if mimicing the properties of that quicksilver draught. I pray that this toxin only transformed my companions body and left his mind sane.
